Abstract in brief

  • Propolis has been traditionally used for its immune-boosting properties, and recent scientific studies have explored how it works to modulate the immune system, including its effects on cells like macrophages, natural killer cells, and antibody production.
  • The research shows that propolis can enhance immune responses, such as increasing the ability of macrophages to kill microbes and stimulating natural killer cells against tumor cells, while also displaying anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects.
  • Understanding propolis's biological activities is important both scientifically and practically, as it has potential therapeutic benefits for immune-related health issues and is already used in various products by humans with some scientific backing.]
